Tethered To My Heart

Reality's a stark place,
that dominates existence.
And I cannot escape it,
no matter how hard I try.
I truly believed we would
be together forever.
And the pain of betrayal,
tore my fragile heart apart.
Love’s indomitable flame,
was not to be extinguished.
And its demise frightened me,
fueling deep depression.
Fate spun a fickle fortune,
spiked with ecstasy and pain.
And yet time’s imbued with the
power to resurrect hope.
Dreams cannot stray very far,
tightly tethered to my heart.
And there will come a time when
I’ll believe in them again.

This is beautiful and nicely crafted. Thanks for the share... Sometimes its refreshing visiting old poems of soupers... Its amazing, the freshness which comes from doing this... And that is exactly my enjoyment visiting this piece

Hi Emile, Love does bring out such a depth of emotion as Is seen through your write my friend.
